DSG3 (130kD pemphigus vulgaris antigen)

Desmoglein3 is also known as PVA(Pemphigus Vulgaris Antigen). Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and pemphigus foliaceus (PF) are autoimmune diseases of the skin which have as target antigens 2 different members of the desmoglein subfamily of the desmosomal cadherins: pemphigus vulgaris antigen (PVA, or desmoglein-3) in the case of PV and desmoglein I in the case of PF . The DSG3 gene, like the genes for DSG1 and DSG2 , is located on chromosome 18. The human DSG3 gene consists of 15 exons and spans more than 23 kb. DSG3 and DSG1 are the autoantigens of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, respectively. DSG3 and DSG1 are the target antigens in PNP, and IgG autoantibodies against DSG3 in PNP sera play a pathogenic role in the loss of keratinocyte adhesion and blistering.\n\nUniProt Number:\nP32926\n\nGene ID:\nDSG3\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
